what's up everyone John render from TechnoBuffalo here there are a ton of smart fans out there and the latest one about the privilege to check out is by adidas it is a fit smart band it looks almost like a cuff but does a lot more so I'm good and walk you guys through it and what it does and see if it's worth your smart band buying dollar so here is the band itself looking more like a cuff than a smart band before I put it on I'll show you the back of it there's where your magnetic charges are going to live and it's going to plug very simply into the included charger which will just plug into a simple USB port utilizes green LED tech in order to get a lock on your heart rate adidas says the battery's gonna last five days but that includes a pretty stringent workout each of every five days I'll be honest I did not work out five days in a row and I was easily able to get almost ten days of battery life out of those guys if you wanna use it as a watch you'll get plenty of life at it and of course if you want to use it for what it can actually do you're gonna get well past that five days so it comes in two sizes small and large I don't know the largest wrists in the world but they did send me the large version which does fit so it fits very similar like a watch you go ahead and slide it through you find the right latch for you and put it in instead of having a standard loop it's got a little bit of a hook you can go ahead and push right through to give kind of a more seamless look now it's gonna be very important that you get this relatively tight this does have included heart rate sensor on it and I found that a little bit looser it was a few beats off but when it was nice and tight I've got a pretty accurate reading so the UI navigation is relatively simple here you go one main button then you're flanked on the right side by an up or down button I go ahead and tap that home button again you're gonna see a battery indicator with LED lights on the side this is one of my favorite features obviously being able to see the battery life is nice but as you're working out these lights are going to illuminate in different colors and you can different things you should do in your workout so if you're working too hard for example and your heart rates going crazy it'll go red if you need to do a little bit more it'll go green so you just want to glance at your watch really quickly or you're smart better there quickly it's a really nice added feature as you go ahead and go through it go ahead and push up so we're gonna get access some of your stats where your heart rates been that kind of stuff go ahead and go back here there's also an included smartphone app which it's been really helpful be able to customize what you see here I will also track your history and give you achievements so go ahead and go down this is where the miCoach app is going to live if you're gonna start one of the predetermines miCoach workouts gives you all that information right there if you selected again I can see what your heart rate is going to be it's relatively quick to lock on to your heart rate especially compared to other fitness bands and as I mentioned you want to make sure that it's really snug or it's going to be off just a couple beats so right now it thinks that I've just started to workout so it's a workout time in the percentage that I've determined for how finished my workout is if I want to end this go ahead and long press home button you get two options here you can either continue it or stop it in a very familiar play or stop so we'll go ahead and stop it and I'll show you the rest of the features that the band has go back home so stats free which initially I thought just meant I had to customize the space but that means they just want to do a free workout that's where that is going to live select that and you get all kinds of other stats again your heart rate and other such things that you might want to know including steps calories and the rest of the standard features you'd expect from a standard band my initial thought here is that this was a little bit on the wide side but as I use it for day after day after day after day and that battery didn't get depleted I started to see the advantage of a band this thick if you're in the market for a band and you're willing to pay $150 price point you're gonna get a really nice product here from adidas it works well with the smartphone I can use it as a watch and you get really a standard smart band features now I would have liked more smartphone integration perhaps notifications for calls coming in texts and such that you do not have here but as a slowly fitness band and also gonna tell you the time does a really nice job and we guys thank you for
